1993 GMC Sonoma Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your GMC? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a GMC Sonoma? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Sonoma’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Sonoma is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Sonoma's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 Sonoma’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your GMC's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
